Used Guns (and neat stuff :) For Sale
Updated February 6, 2012
Armco's revised drop-in/visiting hours are working well! Wednesday from 1:00 to 4:00, plus Saturday all day (except 12-1) gives us those times to visit, talk, tinker maybe, have a coffee, without the stress of trying to get a job finished and still keep about three conversations going :) It has turned out to be a highlight of my week, and I'd like to thank all of you for your support and understanding. As before if you're traveling through we can make other arrangements :) We still take a break from answering the phone on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that has really upped productivity, too! Thanks, guys!! (and ladies... :)
With Clarence Weatherby here now for a full year, we can confidently offer custom guns - Open, Cowboy, Standard, Target, Tactical, AR's and Shotguns. Email for a quote on your needs, and let's hear YOUR ideas :) I am more and more able to concentrate on the sales end. For quite a while yet, I will be overseeing all projects, but Clarence has developed a feel for how a gun is supposed to feel, look, and especially work :) It seems all I do lately is admire and compliment his work.
Oh, yeah, I have Clarence working his magic on SIG's and Smith & Wesson autos as well as a few other guns I was no longer able to do..SAA Colts and clones, also Rugers...Now Glocks, Berettas etc. too...and you gotta try one of the new Norinco NP22's we now do up and sell - feels like a SIG P226 but smoother and with a better trigger :)
All Prices are in Canadian Dollars and Note! No foreign (including US) sales - sorry! Used Guns are all subject to a one week inspection period. Return prepaid for full refund if not satisfied.
We will also sell your handgun or long gun for a 15% commission (or $50, whichever is higher). We need it here for inspection before accepting for sale. We'll sell your presses, shooting gear, and parts, too, at a 25% commission, or by special arrangement on larger items. Call or email for details.
Shipping and Tax extra (unless otherwise indicated) - Tax is 12% in BC, HST wherever it is in force, 5% GST elsewhere. Shipping in the $18 to $30 range with full insurance depending on where you are and the value of the gun.... Long guns in a new hard case - add $21
You may notice the line-up below changes constantly. Sales have been brisk and a lot of guns don't even make it to this page. If you have a special item you are looking for, let me know and I'll contact you as soon as something likely shows up. Well over half of the guns I get have a home already picked out :)
Click on images to enlarge - I usually have lots more pics of the guns below, so just ask! AND trade-ins always welcome.

  Here
is an Armco Custom 45

hammer, Hex head grip screws, and an ARMCO tune-up, with one of our brand
new Norc uppers, tuned as well. 2 mags, one year warranty, great
shooting pistol -
$449 - trades welcome. |
        IMMACULATE
S&W Model 28 "Highway

$690 - Trades? |
  lOVELY
TUNED (HERE) AND REBLUED 1992 PRE-B CZ75 9MM. 2 MAGS - ONE YEAR
WARRANTY, $649 - trades welcome :) |
    This
was my own
Ipsc race gun with less than 8000 rounds on it in 38 Super - sold to a
friend locally last year when I got my Steelmaster 9mm. He had me
install a new 9mm barrel, and it runs sooo sweet! 2 mags , one year
warranty..This gun would be competitive in IPSC Open Division right now.
Shoots quite flat with Major 9, and is cheap and fun to shoot with
factory ammo! All the bells and whistles, Hard Chrome, gorgeous
checkering, exotic grips a phenomenal trigger - would I go into a match
tomorrow with this gun? Oh, yes!
$1490 - trades?... |
   This
ARMCO-Tuned CZ SP01
dates from last year. Very nice bright Night sights, 9mm, no more
than 500 rounds, original bcase, 2 mags -
$890 - trades? |
      Immaculate
Tanker. This
Enfield appears to be an early-war issue (if it was ever actually issued,
looks almost unfired) 38S&W revolver with the blued finish pretty well
100%, and bore and chambers perfect -
$249 - trades? Gone
:) |
    This
ARMCO-tuned SIG Sauer
9mm P226
Elite Dark
is perfect - and barely fired. All the bells and whistles including
adjustable night sights, extended beavertail - case and all accessories.
New last year, and soo smooth :) -
$1149 -
trades? Gone :) |
  This
is a lovely Hard
Chrome STI Tru-sight
- possibly the best gun in the IPSC Standard Division. 40 S&W
caliber, this gun was a demo for display mostly at matches and shows and
has minimal rounds on it - now gone through here and silky smooth, ARMCO
trigger job, Aftek extractor, lightened slide for faster cycling and less
recoil. Because of the expansion chamber on the barrel, this gun
should be used only with TMJ or JHP bullets, but then you have less smoke,
too! One year warranty of course :)
$2190 - trades welcome
:) |
  As-new
40 S&W SIG
P226.
Looks new, tuned here - this one is smooooth :) 2 mags, etc.
$1090 - trades welcome

  Beretta
Model 96 DAO
police model in 40 S&W caliber. This gun is actually a pleasure
to shoot with a DA trigger pull we revolver shooters would die for.
Lovely condition, it's a '95 model so night sights no longer glow -
front now has a Fiber Optic insert - which does glow :) 2 mags,
gun gone through here,
one year warranty -
$629 - trades? |
   This
Taurus PT99 9mm
is in exceptional condition and has been gone over here. Lovely
trigger, adjustable sights, 2 10 round mags, Hogue grips - this one
feels good!
$699 - trades? |
   And
here I need help :) This appears to be a Belgian revolver,
from the last quarter of the 19th century. Lefaucheux?
Currently registered as a 44-40 but the cylinder is too short for a
factory 44-40. What is it exactly? I need to find out and
also the year of manufacture. I'll be researching but your input
is very much appreciated... Hmmm - a 455 Webley fits but the
bore slugs out to .429". We tried a 44 Russian and it fits
pretty well - a tad looser of course but usable...11mm something?
Gettingcloser, lots of input, thanks, guys :) I think I
have it, thanks Mark. It appears to be an
1871 Swedish Trooper Revolver,
issued to the Swedish and Danish Armies, made by Lefaucheux-Francotte,
in 11mm French Ordnance Revolver caliber, Making it an Antique
:) Hmmm
$699 once I de-register... or should I keep it? |
   Taurus
PT99AF 9mm
pistol. These are in a lot of ways superior to the Berettas they
are versions of: Ambi thumb safety (not a decocker), good adjustable
sight, better trigger pull. This one has the light rail and two
mags - very few rounds -
$729 - trades? |
         Well,
I get to keep the other
Model 53
- this one just in is
(almost) too nice to shoot. As new, original box and chamber inserts
for firing 22LR - appears test fired only, this revolver is immaculate!
Should go to a serious S&W collector. 22 Remington Jet, 6" barrel,
lovely Diamond Grips -
$1149 - trades?
Hmm I MIGHT sell a box of original ammo with it, too - $100 more... |
   9mm
Tanfoglio L - this
IPSC-tuned CZ clone is 2 ounces heavier than a Shadow. With a very good
adjustable sight, this gun is super smooth and accurate. Less
than a year old - all original stuff including box -
$699 - trades?
Have lots of mags, too
:) On Hold - |

22LR with Target sights and two magazines - lovely light (alloy frame)
accurate pistol perfect for a starter unit -
$399 - Trades? |
  Ruger
Mark II 22lr Target
pistol. This one is the 5.5" bull barrel version and sports a nice
smooth action and lovely bore. I like this model the best - the Mark
I's were only 9 shot and had no hold-open, and the MarkIII's have now
gotten too chintzy - one magazine -

  This
4" S&W Model 34 in

    This
S&W top break revolver needs me to get into my books... |

great. 12(6) of course -
$499 - Trades? |
  This
Ruger 357 Magnum
"Security Six" is one
of the rare fixed sight models produced on special order in the seventies

All original, 4" (prohib), factory grips, mint inside -
$499 - Trades? |
  Nice
older S&W Model 19
357 "Combat Magnum".
This is a 102mm gun so definitely 12(6). All original, recessed
chambers, pinned barrel, as usual appears to have been fired almost
exclusively with 38 Specials, so very little wear. All original,
$419 - Trades? |

remarkably nice condition - very little external (and no internal) wear

   This
is cool! A
prewar Model 4c Savage 22LR
with a proper Kurt Muller 4x scope. A lovely patina has
developed (I'd get out the oil and steel wool for this one)
Lovely bore yet and the bolt locks up well - scope would appeal to
collectors - doesn't compare to my Swarovski :)
$219 - trades? |
     Stevens
SXS 410 shotgun -
this one doesn't have the wood finished to look like plastic - it's
the real thing! Mint bores, tight action, this one was kept
aside for years for a sunny day - likely bought for a youngster who
never did take to shooting :) More pics
to follow, I screwed up a couple...

  Browning
Challenger in 22 lr.

  This
a rare 686!
A part of an over-run from a US Border Patrol order from about 25 years
ago with the lovely satin finish they specified. This one (and the
identical one in my safe) were made with with
105+
barrels and both were re-registered to restricted. Both as well got
the famous Armco tune/trigger job at that time. Very slick and
accurate :) This one wears Pachmayr gripper grips, and has
less than 1000 rounds on it. Front sight is pinned, so we can change
blades at will (mine has a green Fiber Optic for IPSC). My friend Rob is
going to regret parting with it, but that's life :) -

one of mine - a remarkably well-preserved

need the ARMCO touch :) This one got it! And we'll
warrantee it for a full year... Now

   This
Winchester 1200 Defender
is obviously used, but is in great shape. It is in so many ways
superior to the new cheaper slug guns of various brands. One piece
steel magazine tube, not a piece added on. Nice wood, not plastic.
Much smoother, slick action. This 12 gauge x 3" Magnum has a lovely
bore and internals and a pistol grip (owww - ever try one with a
3" magnum?)
$349 -
Trades? Awaiting pick-up - Chris :) |
      This
neat old (1956)
Winchester Model 94
has a marvelous bore.
Used, certainly, but kept cleaned and oiled. Nice and tight yet,
this one is definitely worth a little polishing and some stock oil.
Otherwise I'd leave it as is - a wonderful example of a pre-64 30-30.
$599 - Trades?
Gone - Charles :) |
    20
gauge side-by-side

You aren’t going to see ARMCO on the Canadian Gunnutz banner this year. I have had a long (and good) association with CGN, and was one of the very first Business members. I have a lot of friends and customers who are members - and I always recommend it. The business membership involves a yearly fee, and a LOT of the more time-consuming stuff I need to deal with daily are from CGN. Keeping a dual set of ads current and updated is very time-consuming and I am not able to work until 11 at night any more – nor do I want to! It is also more cumbersome to deal with PM's than emails - not as easy to relate back to a previous conversation. I will still obviously be a member and contribute when I can to discussions etc. but the return on the investment of time (and money) to remain a business member doesn't seem to be there. At least for now - let's see what 2012 brings :) Business is booming and although obviously some of this originated with CGN, research indicates by far the major portion is a result of the website/return customers/word of mouth...By dropping the CGN Business membership, I intend to be on the phone more, as a huge percentage of our sales is generated by phone calls. I could push for more sales, but then I would end up having to hire more people, so the intent is to keep the sales level where it is and provide superior service :) We’ll never be a Wholesale Sports, but that’s OK J Best wishes for 2012...
